Does your hubby want to?

I am putting together my birth plan...more like hopes because I know it's all up to how everything goes. BUT, I am debating putting down, yes, DH will cut the umbilical cord. When I talked to him about it he kinda seemed grossed out and "that's the doctor's job" mentality. But when I asked him again, saying, don't you think it would be cool, he sort of acted like it would be ok if he did it. I will have to ask him flat out, do you, or don't you (I shouldn't be offended if he doesn't want to). I've always pictured my DH cutting the cord, that's just how it is?

My DH was a little hesitant about the idea at first - he had never considered it an option. But its grown on him and now he's excited to do it. It's basically impossible to mess up and isn't bloody or gross or anything.

I asked him about it and he seemed unsure about it at first. But after giving it some thought he said he would like to do it. Maybe jsut give him a few days to think it over before writing it in the birth plan :-)

Mine is a bit iffy about it..he's pretty sure he wants to do it but he is really squeamish about stuff like that. We included it in the birth plan in case he wants to and if he really feels he just can't there are plenty of people there who are qualified to handle that kind of thing.

Mine wants to cut the cord. He didn't get to when DSS was born cuz the cord was wrapped around his neck twice and he wasn't breathing well so the Drs cut it quick and rushed him off to get him breathing. So dh is hoping DD doesn't have any issues at birth and he can get his daddy moment!
